So if we could have a source for every imaginable NLA 914 part...or bolt-on improved versions what would you want my brothah's and sistah's?
There have been some great items made up recently including Mueller suspension bearings and the RennsShifter...and the lenses and... What else do we need? What can you contribute to this list? What would be first on your list? |

I learned some interesting stuff today about the challenges of getting parts for older vehicles.
I ordered new window rubber for my son's 1975 VW Bus. When I called to check on the order I learned that the rubber for the rear and center vent windows is not available anywhere on this planet. It seems that the only company that makes them is the same one that makes rubber for VWs new cars, but they make the vintage stuff between regular production runs when they have both the time and the urge. Unfortunately, their die broke awhile back so they haven't made this part in awhile. Since the demand can't possibly be as large as their regular market, who knows when they'll get the urge again. When I asked about West Coast Metric I was told that their die broke even longer ago than the German manufacturer. WCM is probably the biggest reproduction rubber place around for VWs so if they haven't bothered to fix their die then it tells you something about the return on investment. There are certainly opportunities out there for those who are equipped to take advantage of them, but the economics of it is probably pretty tough. |
